Well... that's what I just read on the GR website, and I can't find this news anywhere else...

I thought it was scheduled for the end of the summer but it looks like it's already here, and I have a lot of unanswered questions about it... I for one, will never get Paragon Studios' PR...

So... are you ready ?

This is a case of a staged announcement that should never have been published. We often times craft messages well in advance and stage them for publishing when the news needs to be announced. Yes, April 26th was a date we were talking about for the Global Server Access activation, however it's not the actual date. Rest assured that because of the potential extended downtime, we want to give everyone at least 5 days to prepare for the Auth merge/maintenance surrounding it.

Apologies for any confusion about this and we're getting the post pulled down right now.

Thanks!

This is great. Really. It's so much sooner than I expected.

But with the change being made in only a few days, what are the chances of that reactivation weekend that we were told about going ahead. My global is still being used up by an NA trial account I don't use. I would love to fix this before the change.


Edit: Glad to see the launch isn't happening as ninja-like as it seemed. Phew!

You should publish staged announcements more often - they're fun

Personally, I would have thought a trial with the test sever would come first, just to see if it worked. But, hey you never know.

I really wish you guys wouldnt call it global server access, the name is extremely misleading for what you are actually doing.

Don't suppose anyone captured the text on this page. While I'm aware it was up early, it would be nice to see what the details are at this point in the planning stages (and I was at work, so missed the faux pas)...

Yeah but they put up a page on the 19th on the GR website saying the merge was going to happen next week so it must be almost ready.

Was basically saying about the 7 hours downtime [12pm - 7pm BST] that would be needed for it and for players to go and read the Q+A page it gave a link to. No real new information was on it.

Hopefully an outward sign of progress on Global Server Access is a sufficient tradeoff.
